Well here is question number 1 nad 2 (of 3 million)

1) How much can I cover in 6 weeks? Recommendations?

2) Whats the cost of rental car vs flying/train?

 

Hmm... Boston, New York, and Chicago are definite must go to cities. Probably San Francisco as well, but I've never been there, so I don't really know.

You'll be flying a lot, but a rental car would be good to get you around the Northeast. Everywhere else is just to spread out.

Not too bad to drive.  I've driven from Richmond to New York City in about 6 hours.  Richmond to Chicago in about 16.  Chicago to San Franciso in about 3 days (with lots of stopping).

Yeah I figured the spreadout thing... 

Places I think would be good include: Seattle, Chicago, Boston, (a return visit to) NYC, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Savannah, Las Vegas, San Francisco... then maybe Florida to see BT people and Texas? Memphis? New Orleans? And maybe a stop through Phoenix to see Andy?

You guys dont exactly locate places close to each other do you?

Then i need to workout who lives where too...

I can handle Memphis and New Orleans.

And New Orleans has a HIM

Thanks... its exciting isnt it? My long term goal for about 3 years has been a HIM so if I can get one season under my belt maybe I can think about that one again... 2010 maybe...

Do it in the States and all the Nibbs can meet and jockstrap for you!

That sounds like a great plan!  Nibbs party WITH Cat!   

hehe now I guess the pressure is on for me to figure it out!

Hey, I haven't even finished a marathon yet!  And I've never done a HIM.  I've been thinking about 2009, but I think I might spend some time trying to get a little faster first.  My Olympic times are not great and I'd like to have a better base before a HIM.

I havent done an Oly yet... I was trainign for a Half mara when I got sick in early 2006... 

I think if I committed to HIM I would try and get some time with a coach because I know I need to overtrain the bike and undertrain the run so could use some professional guidance on how to go about it... I wouldnt have a clue!

We go into saunas to cool off;)

Lots of races in the Spring help, and the season lasts longer, too.   Plus we start EARLY, so it doesn't get too bad.  We had a half mary in June that started at 6am.  Got to 95 that day, but was still in the eighties when the race was over. 

Good for cold beer drinking;)

Well here is question number 1 nad 2 (of 3 million)

1) How much can I cover in 6 weeks? Recommendations?

2) Whats the cost of rental car vs flying/train?

 

Hmm... Boston, New York, and Chicago are definite must go to cities. Probably San Francisco as well, but I've never been there, so I don't really know.

You'll be flying a lot, but a rental car would be good to get you around the Northeast. Everywhere else is just to spread out.

Yeah I figured the spreadout thing...

You guys dont exactly locate places close to each other do you?

Then i need to workout who lives where too...

Well, you have to come to Richmond - not too far from DC and you have three Nibbs here.   

I need a map of the US... but yes I think I noticed that you kind of pass through Virginia to get anywhere...



No, you pass through ATLANTA to get anywhere.

Not too bad to drive.  I've driven from Richmond to New York City in about 6 hours.  Richmond to Chicago in about 16.  Chicago to San Franciso in about 3 days (with lots of stopping).

kns57 - 2008-10-14 12:34 PM I see we are planning a trip for Cat to come to the US. Just think, with all the Nibbs you can stay with along with other BTers you won't have to pay for any hotels.

haha well in most places I guess... maybe I can offer to cook meals and babysit as forms of payment!

You've already prepaid for the trip, Super Vixen.

I have? 

We don't make friends pay to visit.

 

Until they outstay their welcome Im sure!
